      <abstract xml:lang="en"><p>In the context of the intensification of economic competitiveness, depending both on the economic activities unfolded as well as on their territorial location, on the distribution and spatial relationships that these activities have with resources, on afferent workforce, on the equipment, services and sales markets, it is obvious that the urban strategy has to be directed towards the involvement of urban centers, of metropolitan areas in harnessing natural and cultural resources, thus constituting a hierarchical system of multi/zones of development by realizing competitive products and services. Having to consider all these, the intensification of the influence of the equipment and recreation areas system on the economic vitality of the metropolis, on the complexity and quality of the recreation services and equipments, enhance the reputation and image of a region and has positive effects on its attractiveness; at the same time, the recreation service system creates jobs, stimulates tourism and facilitates a series of advantages regarding the economic and social domains. </p></abstract>
